I've been binge-watching Dining on a Dime for a bit now and I must say; Jucas has got to be one of the most genuinely kind and charming hosts on KZfaq. Thanks, Eater.

Lucas you are eating the crab all wrong. You don't use chop sticks or fork or spoon. You put it in your mouth and suck the meat out as you bite down and pull the crab out of your mouth. That way all the meat gets scraped out into your mouth. It's an art to eating raw crab lol. I've been going to Alicia's for over 30 years and Leonard was a young man lol. You have to try their plate lunches. Sooooo good! Get the mixed plate with roast pork, prime rib, rice, potatoe salad, poke and kimchi. After you eat that, go find a nice shady tree and go into what we in Hawaii call Polynesian Paralysis.

Thanks guys, for showing all the awesome food we have here! Don't mean to be a smartass, Lucas, but masago and tobiko are roe from two different fish (though they generally taste the same). Also, they add much more than just texture - they have a very briney, almost alcohol-y taste.

I love Alicia Market their poke is pretty hard to beat. But I love going there for their Chinese roast plates which is #1 on the island! Some of my favorite poke spots on the island is Tamuras with their king crab garlic poke. Fresh catch poke shop and Ono seafoods which has a bit of an asian flare to their style of poke which is so good!! And if I want some great poke on a budget, foodland supermarket has great cheap options which is hard to beat!!

The first one you tasted was Masago (Capelin eggs)/wasabi poke' not Tobiko (Flying-fish eggs)/wasabi poke'. The second was Salmon Ponzu poke' not salmon/shoyu poke'. The tartness comes from the lemon juice in the ponzu sauce used (not vinegar). Amen to nuts in banana bread, not the same without them. Macadamia nuts the best but walnuts work in a pinch. I once had a bunch of crab poke' put me in the hospital for several days. Scary but delicious.

Locals are extremely nice. They don't really like tourism and the culture it's created, but they also understand it makes their economy thrive. And I've never met a Hawaiin who was unkind to any visitor. They're cool with people and extremely laid back, just gotta socialize with them.

@Catalina Tran I guess it must depend who you talk to yea? I'd imagine anyone who relies on tourism to make money isn't going to diss tourists. And most tourists interact with people who deal with tourism a lot and helps their business. But I'd imagine a lot of other people probably aren't a fan of the development and changes tourism brought.

Actually, I remember when they built a Costco on an island while I was there, a lot of locals were talking shit about tourism and causing land development like this.
